ABSTRACT

This thesis examines the application of third-person pronouns in two distinct languages:
English and Uzbek. The assessment centers on significant aspects such as gender
differentiation, levels of formality, possessive forms, reflexive pronouns, and instances where
pronouns are omitted in both languages. In English, third-person pronouns are specific to
gender, featuring distinct forms for masculine, feminine, and neutral subjects, while a
noticeable distinction between formal and informal address is conveyed through titles rather
than pronouns. Conversely, Uzbek employs a neutral third-person pronoun that does not
differentiate by gender, with formality articulated through particular honorifics and plural
constructions. Moreover, the agglutinative nature of Uzbek permits the omission of
pronouns when the subject is implied through verb conjugation, a feature absent in English.
This paper underscores how these variations mirror the grammatical frameworks and
cultural practices of each language, offering insights into the ways language influences social
interactions and communication. These linguistic traits not only shape daily conversations
but also have repercussions on literature, media, and education, illuminating the profound
links between language, identity, and societal values. Grasping these subtleties is crucial for
language learners and educators, as it cultivates a deeper understanding of the complexities
of communication and promotes more effective cross-cultural exchanges.

The investigation of language offers crucial insights into the complexities of
human interaction and the cultural contexts that shape it. This paper provides a
comparative examination of third-person pronoun usage in two different languages:
English and Uzbek. By analyzing significant linguistic elements such as gender
distinctions, levels of formality, possessive structures, reflexive pronouns, and the
occurrence of pronoun omission, this study seeks to clarify the fundamental
grammatical frameworks and cultural conventions that influence these languages.
In English, third-person pronouns are marked by their gender-specific forms, which
differentiate masculine, feminine, and neutral subjects, while variations in formality
are mainly expressed through titles instead of pronouns. In contrast, Uzbek utilizes a
neutral third-person pronoun that avoids gender distinctions, with formality
articulated through the application of honorifics and plural forms. Additionally, the
agglutinative characteristic of the Uzbek language permits the omission of pronouns
when the subject is implied by verb conjugation—a feature that is distinctly lacking
in English. Through this comparative perspective, the paper aims to emphasize how 20
these linguistic variations not only affect daily communication but also resonate
